Need some technical advice concerning a "video tagging" project

[Grandy]

I've been doing some video work for a sports site and they've been bugging me about this "video tagging" project they want to explore.

Basically our site is a huge network of sports blogs for just about any team you can imagine.

When we do an NFL game, the video clips we use get uploaded and published to the main site (the NFL page, anyway).

What these guys want to do is figure out a way to get this video content expanded across their entire network of blogs through some kind of automated system.

The idea is...let's say you uploaded a video clip of Vince Young and published it to the NFL page.

They'd like to have the ability to tag that clip so it's auto-published to the separate blogs for, say, the Titans (Young's old team), the Longhorns (his college team), and the Eagles (his current team).

I have literally no clue how to implement any kind of solution for this so I'm asking you guys...if you had any ideas it would be much appreciated.

I literally have no idea how to implement it either but I'd assume a system of tagging the way you describe it would have to be implemented as you upload each video rather than placing tags in the actual video itself. I could be wrong but tags are frequently used for other types of media such as images or for entire blog posts whether they include media or not, and of course websites such as flickr use them. Thinking about it, even this forum has a function for adding tags to each new thread but they have to be added manually when you post.
You might be better off asking the question in a forum dedicated to web page creation, or maybe whoever's hosting the site might be able to help with how to implement tagging if they're a site dedicated to hosting blogs.

Where should be the problem you need a specialized CMS thats designed for this backend as well as frontend and their you go, these multi network content distribution systems are very common in the Adul Content Industry for example :)

You could do it 2 ways
1. Detect the content for the specific site it should be published on based on bitstream or container tags (that you set @ editing or encoding(/muxing), the cms lists those and you can implement decisions it should make based on pre defined events such as the tags).
2. Use the CMS database to tag the content inside and publish it (without needing to tag the files themselves though database damaged or lost tags lost also)
